“I offer the electorate experienced and stable leadership, and the progressive policies and clear vision for Australia’s future which the big parties are ignoring,” Australian Greens Leader Senator Brown said in Canberra today.

Australian Greens Leader Senator Bob Brown has backed in calls for a modernisation of the Australian flag today.

“I congratulate Ray Martin for raising this issue on Australia Day eve, and agree wholeheartedly that it is high time we replaced the union jack with a dinkum Australian symbol on our flag,” said Senator Brown.

“I call on Kevin Rudd to give Australians the opportunity at the next federal election to vote for a new symbol for our flag that properly reflects the country we are today.

“Australia has not been a British colony since federation in 1901 and the union jack does not represent Australians.

“It should be replaced with another symbol that conveys Australia’s ancient Indigenous or natural heritage. “Instead of delaying, Kevin Rudd should use this year’s federal election as an opportunity for Australians to vote on becoming a Republic and a new flag for our country.”
